Real Bride: A Crimson/Violet Magenta Indian Wedding

We can’t get enough of Indian Weddings, there’s just something about the vibrant culture that shines from the lavish colors, golden ornaments and embellishments, and rich fabrics that cover the Indian bride from head to toe. We are so excited to feature one of our Real Brides, this stunning Indian bride whom we got to do her hair and make up at the beautiful Sheraton Carlsbad Resort for her 4-day event. She looked absolutely ravishing in her crimson wedding gown; red is a traditional color for Indian brides and represents ‘new life’ and ‘good luck’, and we liked how her gown consisted of a couple different shades of red and a royal blue pop up color. Each day was as vibrant as the last, and for her reception she wore the most gorgeous shade of purple, a magenta violet hue with complemented the gold accents and jewelry she wore. We enjoyed being able to style her hair into a formal updo for the ceremony and then letting her hair down for the reception.
